[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain why it's so hard for the victim to share this information? I know this question sounds cold but I'm really trying to understand the struggle. [/quote] Victims often feel blamed and shamed. They don't always recognize themselves as the victim, especially when they're young and have grown up in an abusive household, and don't know any better.[/quote] There's also usually quite a lot of emotional manipulation/brainwashing that occurs alongside the molestation. It's not just the abuser who's emotionally attacking the victim, but also the people around the victim. Typically, the abuser targets the victim for the very reason that s/he knows the victim's "support system" is a system that will end up enabling his/her abuse of the victim. In the end? What's obvious to you isn't at all obvious to the victim and, in many cases, may never be obvious to the victim.[/quote]
